Package: live-build Version: 3.0~a20-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch oneiric
On ARM systems with flash-kernel installed, update-initramfs (at least; possibly the kernel too) will try to install the new kernel and initramfs into flash. While this is fine for normal systems, it's not a sane thing to do when building a live filesystem for another machine. The simplest way to avoid this seems to be to divert flash-kernel aside while building the chroot. Patch attached. (livecd-rootfs did this by setting a FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=1 environment variable, but that's difficult to support in live-build because of the way the Chroot function cleans the environment, and in any case a diversion is much neater.)
